By merge I meant he was at a Give Way sign. He was at the give way, not me. I DO NOT HAVE TO LET HIM IN, AND I DIDN'T.
And something that just came to me, do some thread minning, my very first car (GTS-T M spec Skyline) was written off by a truck driver, who ran a give way and T boned my passengers side, the B pillar ended up where the middle of the passengers seat would have been. This truck was carrying a crane on the back, the truck was about an 14 wheeler?. I had the car for 14 days, Very traumatic when you're 17 years old - especially when its no fault of you're own; instead a truck driver in a hurry to make his delivery. Just tried doing a search for it, couldn't find the thread. It may have been on the old fordforums.com but there is no search function. Excuse me for my dislike of large trucks at give ways as well as Toll. |

People have to learn to separate the company from its employees. Its the company and its directors who decide sponsorship issues, not the employees. It is the company who will suffer if you stop usign their product, not th employees. It is the employees who suffer if you make their lives a misery, not the company... just dont forget the distinction when it comes to trying to make your point. And accidents happen! Yes, even to blokes driving trucks!!! I will never shop at supercheap or whatever it is, they sell absolute rubbish, and nothing I cant get from anywhere else if I want to. I dont plan on actively supporting any of Rick Kelly's sponsors if I can possibly manage it! Sometimes it cant be helped...

A lot of you guys have put forward emotional posts here and I empathise with you, but the sad truth is, the outcome is not going to have an adverse effect on Toll. As the Yanks say "there's no such thing as bad publicity".

You were'nt doing a thing to TOLL, just an employee who could well drive a Ford! Face it, all any advertiser wants is value for money. Which means getting their name/product on the box as much as possible. They dont care if their name is on the worst driver (even better if he crashes a lot!) in the series, as long as the cameras are on that car their name is getting out to the public.

Toll seems an apropriate sponsor for a tool. I guess sidchrome would be better.

A couple of customers boycotting sponsors... not only is it childish but will have about .000000000001% of impact on their sales.
I know people on here are pretty patriotic about cars and motorsport but when you look at the big picture, companies don't care about what happens on the track unless their car wins. Reguardless of fair win or not their name is out there and can claim they sponsor the champion team. |
